Arizona Arts Live and Maya Tea Present ‘Mrs. Krishnan’s Party’

Feb 11, 20251 min read

Arizona Arts Live and Maya Tea have teamed up to host multiple performances of Indian Ink Theatre: Mrs. Krishnan’s Party. Each one-hour-and-fifteen-minute performance takes place inside Maya Tea’s warehouse (2861 N. Flowing Wells Rd. #101) on select dates from Thursday, February 27 to Saturday, March 8.

Throughout the play, 100 strangers show up at Mrs. Krishnan’s, who has no choice but to throw “the party of her life.”

“Indians throw big parties. Heard of Diwali? A million lamps floating on a river and fireworks lighting the sky. Heard of Holi? An explosion of color and joy–massive dry cleaning bills. How about Onam? An annual harvest festival celebrating life, death, and rebirth…and possibly the biggest of them all.”

Tickets to each show range from $35 to $45 per person.

ParTEA Pass

For an extra $150, join the founder and CEO of Maya Tea and Transit Tea, Manish Shah, as he takes you on an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the warehouse.

See where it’s all made before it’s warmed up or cooled down in your cup! Plus, you’ll get to take home a limited-edition commemorative tea canteen — created just for this event — and also two $100 gift cards (one for Maya Tea and one for Transit Tea).

Then, after the show, they’ll have freshly prepared vegetarian dhal (red lentils) and rice. Eat and get to know the cast! 

Showtimes are either at 2 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. (depending on the day) on select dates from Thursday, February 27 to Saturday, March 8.

Maya Tea’s Warehouse is located at 2861 N. Flowing Wells Rd. #101. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit arizonaartslive.com.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

Grant Road construction near Alvernon Way is nearing its end. Crews started in May 2024 and expect to finish October 2026. The finished road will have six lanes, landscaped medians, and buffered bike lanes.

Meanwhile, neighborhood restaurants have kept serving customers through lane shifts and driveway limits. Drivers who avoided the area may have skipped a few favorites. Now that the finish line is in sight, it is a good time to return. Here are four restaurants worth a visit.
